A finite element (FE) model of a tennis racket was created to aid in the design and development of new rackets by allowing engineers to analyse the mechanical properties of the frames without making physical prototypes. This approach saves both time and money but only if the model is an accurate representation of the manufactured racket. The FE model, therefore, needed to be validated. This paper...
An explicit finite element (FE) model of a tennis ball impact on a freely suspended racket was produced in Ansys/LS-DYNA 10.0. The geometry for the racket frame was reproduced in the FE model using a non-contact laser scanner. The model was validated against experimental data obtained using the fully automated International Tennis Federation Racket Power Machine. The root mean squared error between...
